Jim Rohn Quotes

I had to learn how to think as a positive human being, before anything.

The decisions of our past are the architects of our present.

The change is from inner to outer. We start by dissolving our attitude not by altering outer conditions.

I think once you get it in your head, that you're not going to do anything bigger, you just do things that you enjoy, which has always been my ethos anyway.

Sometimes all it takes to change a life is to decide which beliefs do not serve you and to literally change your mind about those beliefs.

The talent is in the choices.

A lot of my time was spent searching, thinking and planning my life.

Your joy comes from how you think, the choices that we make in life.

I'm by no means an expert at giving advice on depression, but I would say that a lot of my show is about making the decision to be happy. We all think that happiness is something that just falls into our lap. But it's something you have to really work on.

I don't mind talking about 'what might have been,' but I am not one to doubt or regret most of my decisions.

Yes there are times when you regret your decisions but we all have to make them without the power of hindsight.

Change your thinking, change your life.

If life becomes hard to bear we think of a change in our circumstances. But the most important and effective change, a change in our own attitude, hardly even occurs to us, and the resolution to take such a step is very difficult for us.

I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.

I don't have any romanticism about any part of my past. I think of it only inasmuch as it gave me pleasure or helped me grow psychologically. That is the only thing that interests me about yesterday. I don't believe in yesterday, by the way. You know I don't believe in yesterday. I am only interested in what I am doing now.

My biggest past mistakes have been when I made decisions out of ego rather than spirit. When I acted too quickly. When I wasn't contemplative or reflective or prayerful enough, and I ended up making what I would only later see to be unwise decisions.

When I go out I get so much love I gotta change my way of thinking.

Don’t do what you know on a gut level to be the wrong thing to doI don’t think there’s a single dumbass thing I’ve done in my adult life that I didn’t know was a dumbass thing to do while I was doing it. Even when I justified it to myself—as I did every damn time—the truest part of me knew I was doing the wrong thing. Always. As the years pass, I’m learning how to better trust my gut and not do the wrong thing, but every so often I get a harsh reminder that I’ve still got work to do.

Change your way of thinking, change your way of doing, change your way of choosing.

Well, I'd love to make a decision like that, but I'm not sure how I could change my life.

I don’t really do New Year’s resolutions because I don’t think you should have to wait until December to start working on how to change yourself. I think if you’ve got a problem, you need to fix it now.

It's only a thought, and a thought can be changed. I am not limited by any past thinking. I choose my thoughts with care. I constantly have new insights and new ways of looking at my world. I am willing to change and grow.

I am thinking it right but beating it wrong.

If you think the cause of your problem is 'out there,' you'll try to solve it from the outside. Take the shortcut: solve it from within.

You may think that if someone else doesn't change, you can never be happy. But if you change, you can be happy no matter what.
